Brazilian GP Facts, Stats & Memoirs
Find out about all the possible combinations that would give Fernando Alonso the title, learn about Portuguese F1 drivers, and discover who were the strongest drivers during the European season. Marcel Schot brings the answers and more anecdotes on the seventeenth round of the season
With three rounds to go, the World Championship is still open. With Fernando Alonso now at 111 points and Kimi Raikkonen at 86, the difference is 25 with a maximum of 30 to be scored. This, of course, means that Alonso will be crowned Champion if he finishes on the podium on Sunday. Six points will make the Spaniard unpassable even if Raikkonen manages to win all remaining races.
In short, Alonso can let Raikkonen go and see what result he needs. First for Raikkonen means Alonso needs third, second means fifth, third means seventh and fourth means eight. Anything less and Raikkonen is eliminated even if Alonso doesn't finish another race.
